We cannot tell you how many homes we've gone into and there was no insulation between the roof rafters in the attic; under these circumstances, these roofs are the highest point of heat loss in a home, except for windows and doors that have low R factors. A window with an R factor of 9 is not bad; a window with an R factor of 15 is better. a wall with an R factor of 15 is nothing, R factor of 30 for the wall is a little better, green is 85% R factor for the wall and 100% R factor for the ceiling/roof. The R Factor for windows in a green constructed home is between 15 and 45 R Factor and a there are a couple ways to achieve this in green building design.
